Product Description:
With this brilliant and uncompromising work, the most famous musical work of the 20th century, Stravinsky changed the course of modern music forever. Says Grove's: "every canon ofharmony seems to have been violated ... yet with all its deliberate crudity and violence the ‘Rite' is a clearly planned and perfectly controlled and coordinated piece of music [which] has for long been accepted universally as a masterpiece and is in the repertory of every large symphony orchestra...."

Claude Debussy: Piano Music (1888-1905) [Paperback] Review

I've had this edition for about 15 years, and physically it's held up very well.No tearing, binding is still strong, pages are as white as the day I got it.

This is a generous sampling of Debussy's piano music.Some pieces, like L'isle Joyeuse, are not easy listening, though none are as experimental as Debussy became later in life.That said, many pieces, notably the Arabesques and Suite Bergmasque, are pretty and accessible.

Difficulty ranges from moderate (Reverie, Claire De Lune) to virtuosic (Reflets dans l'eau, Mouvement)

The major downside for the pianist is that there are no fingerings at all.
